THE MEASURE OF SUCCESS

Lord, I didn’t lose any weight, in fact, I gained! Ahhh! I ate what I thought was Your will and now I gained! What happened?

(My child, the measure of your success is not the number on a scale; the measure of your success is your obedience to My will. As you obey My leading, the numbers will go down, but look unto Me for a progress report not the scale. It pleases Me that you are seeking My will and eating according to My instructions.  I do suggest that you drink more fluids. At the present time you are drinking almost no water, just those artificial drinks. Drink some water now.)

Ok, Lord. . . . Lord, but I really  want to eat more and lots more now!

(It is okay, My child for you are talking with Me now and I will help you overcome. I am glad you came to Me instead of eating all that unnecessary food. I am glad you got a cool drink of water and sat down to rest. You did well choosing to go on a walk with the children. Not only was it good for them, but it was good for you too. You are doing well, My child. I am proud of you. You have sought My fellowship versus the pleasure food. It is a pleasure for Me when My children seek My Presence for their pleasure. Yes, My child, you are going to have a good day.)

Lord, I feel guilty, what about all those suffering so? All I am dealing with is resisting pleasure food, but other people are in intense suffering. Some are even facing death.

(Know, My child, that I am with them as well. My presence is what gives them the courage and strength to withstand these attacks. I am ready to welcome them into My arms as they arrive. This time of Earth is very short. My child. due to the intense suffering of those I love, I am shortening the days and raising an army of heavenly hosts to claim victory. Soon and very soon, I will return for those left. Look for Me, My child. It is just on the horizon. The ones you should feel sorry for  are those that have closed their eyes and shut up their ears to the truth. For the truth, My truth, would set them free; just as My truth will set you free as well! But when they choose to close their ears, eyes, and hearts to Me, they decide their destiny and their suffering will be for eternity. There will be no end.)

Well Lord,  . . . my water was just right and having You talk with me is so good too! Thank you for loving me.

James 1:12 KJV Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him.
